Considering opening Nationwide International Isle Of Man sterling account but I notice that they don't come under the UK guarantee scheme - probably a silly question in today's climate but would they be viewed as a 'safe' institution. Their 4.10% 3yr fixed rate deal looks very attractive as long as they don't go belly up! Any ideas folks?
Nationwide International are fully owned by Nationwide UK ...
Nationwide International is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide, the world's largest building society, with assets in excess of £202.4 billion and a total Tier 1 ratio of 10%, (as at 30 September 2008), which is in excess of the requirements under the UK Government's banking sector scheme and one of the highest in the financial services sector.
